The whole cable-TV original programming just changed the nature of television.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward.

With the advent of cable and such, you guys are calling it the golden age of TV in terms of the writing and stuff. But it's like different branches of a big tree that TV has become.

I believe America wants and needs the shared experience of television. We far too often see in crises how television brings us together.

But it's true, when you see some television, you carry it with you. It's like 90210. Tell me what young shows were being done then... We were thrilled about the ratings around the world.

Reality TV is here, it's been here really since the Carol Levis Discovery Show in 1957. It's never changed. It just looks a bit different.

The biggest difference between British TV and American TV is money. But what money doesn't do on American TV, which I thought it would, is buy you time. You don't get more time. You get more toys.

I do believe that we're in a true golden era of television, and I think it started with 'Hill Street.'

I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw.
